Cl. 260-479 C 13 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Sulfenylated N-methylcarbamic acid aryl esters, i.e. phenyl or substituted-phenyl esters of N-(methylthio)- N-methylcarbamic acid in which the methylthio group is substituted by three chlorine atoms or by two chlorine atoms and a fluorine atom, which possess insecticidal, acaricidal, fungicidal and microbicidal properties and which may be produced by conventional methods.

The present invention relates to and has for its objects the provision of particular new sulfenylated N-methylcarbamic acid aryl esters, i.e. phenyl or substituted-phenyl esters of N-(methylthio)-N-methylcarbamic acid in which the methylthio group is substituted by three chlorine atoms or by two chlorine atoms and a fluorine atom, which possess insecticidal, acaricidal, fungicidal and microbicidal properties, active compositions in the form of mixtures of such compounds with solid and liquid dispersible carrier vehicles, and methods for producing such compounds and for using such compounds in a new way especially for combating pests, e.g. arthropods, especially insects and acarids, fungi and microbes, with other and further objects becoming apparent from astudy of the within specification and accompanying examples.

It is known that N-trichloromethylthio compounds display fungicidal and insecticidal properties (see German Pat. 921,290). Furthermore, it is known that N-fluorodichloromethylthio compounds may also be used as fungicides and acaricides (see Angewandte Chemie, Volume 76, 807 (1964)). Representatives of both classes of compounds, for example, N(trichloromethylthio) phthalimide and N,N dimethyl N'-phenyl-N'(fluorodichloromethylthio)-sulfonyldiamide have found acceptance in practice.

The present invention provides new N-sulfenylated N- methylcarbamic acid aryl esters of the formula SC 012K (I) in which X represents chlorine or fluorine, and

Ar represents a phenyl or naphthyl radical which may be substituted by at least one lower alkyl, alkoxy, alkylmercapto, dialkylamino, trifiuoromethyl, halogen or nitro radical. Advantageously the alkyl and alkoxy radicals contain 1 to 4 and preferably 1 to 3 carbon atoms.

It has been found that compounds of the formula (I) defined above possess strong insecticidal, acaricidal, fungicidal and microbicidal properties.

The present invention also provides two processes for the production of the N-sulfenylated N-methylcarbamic acid aryl esters of the formula (I) in which (a) A N-sulfenylated N-methylcarbamic acid fluoride of the formula S-G ClzX (II) in which X has the abovementioned significance, is reacted with a phenolic compound of the formula HO--Ar (III) in which Ar has the abovementioned significance, in the presence of a diluent and an acid-binding agent, or

(b) A N-sulfenylated N-methyl carbamic acid fluoride of the formula (II) as defined above is reacted with an alkali metal salt of a phenolic compound of the formula (III) as defined above, in the presence of a diluent.

It is surprising that the compounds according to the invention display a higher insecticidal, acaricidal and fungicidal strength than previously known N-trihalomethylthio compounds. The substances according to the invention thus represent an enrichment of the art.

The course of the reaction (a) can, when using N- (fluorodichloromethylthio) N methylcarbamic acid fluoride and phenol as starting substances, be represented by the following equation:

triethylamlne CHa-ITI-CO-F H0 -0 s-o F on o S-G F C]:

The N-sulfenylated N-methylcarbamic acid fluorides are known and are defined by formula (II). They are obtainable from N-methylcarbamic acid fluoride and an appropriate sulfenyl chloride in the presence of a tertiary amine (see Belgian Pat. 717,705).

The phenolic compounds required for the reaction are generally defined by the formula (III). In formulae (I) and (HI), Ar represents a phenyl or naphthyl radical which may preferably be substituted by methyl, trifluoromethyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, methylmercapto, dirnethylamino, chlorine and/or the nitro group.

As phenolic compounds it is thus possible to use, phenol, cresols, xylenols, tert.-butylpheno1s, iso-propylphenols, dimethylaminophenols, chloro-, dichloroand nitro-phenols, 2-chloro 4 nitrophenol, 2 isopropoxyphenol, 2-ethoxyphenol, 3-met-hyl 4 methylmercaptophenol, 4-trifluoromethylphenol and naphthols for the process according to the invention. The phenols and naphthols mentioned are known.

Possible diluents are all inert organic solvents. These preferably include (optionally chlorinated) hydrocarbons, such as benzine, benzene, toluene, xylene, chlorobenzine as well as dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and the like, others, for example d-iethyl and dibutyl ether, dioxan; as well as low-boiling aliphatic ketones and nitriles, for example acetone, methylethyl ketone, me'thylisopropyl ketone, acetonitrile, propionitrile; and the like.

In order to bind the hydrogen fluoride produced during the reaction, an acid-binder, usually a tertiary base such as triethylamine, tributylamine, dimethyl benzylamine, pyridine, and the like, or an inorganic base such 3 as an alkali hydroxide or alkali carbonate, is added to the reaction mixture. As mentioned above, it is possible to start directly from the alkali phenolates; it is also possible to carry out the reaction according to the invention in an aqueous phase.

The reaction temperatures can be varied over a fairly wide range and in general temperatures of to 100 C., preferably of 20 to 40 C., are used.

In carrying out the process according to the invention, equimolar amounts of the reagents are generally used. In many cases it has also proved advantageous if the phenol component is employed in slight excess (for example about 5 to percent by weight).

The reaction mixture is worked up in the usual manner.

The active substances according to the invention display strong insecticidal and acaricidal activity while possessing a low phytotoxicity. The active substances can therefore be used successfully for combating harmful sucking and biting insects, Diptera as well as mites (Acarina).

To the sucking insects contemplated herein there belong, in the main, aphids, such as the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae), the bean aphid (Doralis fabae); scales, such as Aspidiotus hea'erae, Lecanium hesperidum, Pseudococcus maritiums; T hysanoptera, such as Hereinathrips femoralis; and bugs, such as the beet bug (Piesma quadrata) and the bed bug (Cz'mex lectularius); and the like.

With the biting insects contemplated herein, there are classed, in the main, butterfly caterpillars, such as Plutella maculipennis, Lymantria dispar; beetles, such as granary weevils (Sitophilus granarius), the Colorado beetle (Leptiontarsa decemlineata), and also species living in the soil, such as the wireworms (Agriotes sp.) and larvae of the cockchafer (Melolonzlza melolontha); cockroaches, such as the German cockroach (Blattella germanica); Orthoptera, such as the house cricket (Gryllus domesticus); termites, such as Reticulirermes; Hymenoptera, such as ants; and the like.

The Diptera contemplated herein comprise, in particular, the flies, such as the vinegar fiy (Drosophila melanogaster), the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), the house fly (Musca domestica), and mosquitoes, such as the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti); and the like.

In the case of the mites contemplated herein, particularly important are the spider mites (Tetranychidae) such as the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), the European red mite (Paratetranychus pilosus); gall mites, such as the currant gall mite (Eriophyes ribis) and tarsonemids, such as Tarsonemus pallidus, and ticks; and the like. The effects set in rapidly and are long-lasting.

The active substances according to the invention also show a strong fungitoxic action against phytopathogenic fungi. Their good compatibility with warm-blooded animals and higher plants permits them to be employed as plant protection agents against fungal diseases. They do not harm culture plants in the concentration required for combatting the fungi. Fungitoxic agents in plant protection are employed for combatting fungi from the most diverse classes of fungi, such as Archimycetes, Phyco-' mycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Fungi imperfecti.

The active substances according to the invention have a very broad spectrum of activity. They can be employed against parasitic fungi on parts of the plant which are above ground, against fungi which cause Tracheomycosis and which attack the plants from the soil, seed-borne fungi as well as fungi which inhabit soil.

The active substances are also highly effective and of particular practical importance if they are employed as seed disinfectants or soil treatment agents against phytopathogenic fungi, which adhere to the seed or occur in soil and cause diseases of seedlings, rotting of roots,

T racheomycoses, or diseases of the stem, stalk, leaf, blossom, fruit or seed, such as T illetia caries, Helminthosporium gramineum, Fusarium nivale, Fusarium culmorum, Rhizoctonia solani, Phialophora cinerescens, Verticillum alboatrum, Fusarium solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Tliielaviopsis basicola and Phytophthora cactorum.

The active compounds according to the instant invention can be utilized, if desired, 'in the form of the usual formulations or compositions with conventional inert (i.e. plant compatible or herbicidally inert) pesticide diluents or extenders, i.e. diluents or extenders of the type usable in conventional pesticide formulations or compositions, e.g. conventional pesticide dispersible carrier vehicles such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, emulsifiable concentrates, spray powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusting agents, granules, etc. These are prepared in known manner, for instance by extending the active compounds with conventional pesticide dispersible liquid diluent carriers and/or dispersible solid carriers optionally with the use of carrier vehicle assistants, e.g. conventional pesticide surface-active agents, including emulsifying agents and/ or dispersing agents, whereby, for example, in the case where water is used as diluent, organic solvents may be added as auxiliary solvents. The following may be chiefly considered for use as conventional carrier vehicles for this purpose: inert dispersible liquid diluent carriers, including inert organic solvents, such as aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.), halogenated, especially chlorinated, aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. chlorobenzenes, etc.), paraffins (e.g. petroleum fractions), chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g. methylene chloride, etc.), alcohols (e.g. menthanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, etc.), amines (e.g. ethanolamine, etc.), ethers, ether-alcohols, (e.g. glycol monomethyl ethyl, etc.), amides (e.g. dimethyl formamide, etc.), sulfoxides (e.g. dimethyl sulfoxide, etc.), ketones (e.g. acetone, etc.), and/or water; as well as inert dispersible finely divided solid carriers, such as ground natural minerals (e.g. kaolins, alumina, silica, chalk, i.e. calcium carbonate, talc, kieselguhr, etc.) and ground synthetic minerals (e.g. highly dispersed silicic acid, silicate, e.g. alkali silicates, etc.); whereas the following may be chiefiy considered for use as conventional carrier vehicle assistants, e.g. surface-active agents, for this purpose: emulsifying agents, such as non-ionic and/or anionic emulsifying agents (e.g. polyethylene oxide esters of fatty acids, polyethylene oxide ethers of fatty alcohols, alkyl sulfonates, aryl sulfonates, etc., and especially alkyl arylpolyglycol ethers, magnesium stearate, sodium oleate, etc.); and/or dispersing agents, such as lignin, sulfite waste liquors, methyl cellulose, etc.

Such active compounds may be employed alone or in the form of mixtures with one another and/or with such solid and/or liquid dispersible carrier vehicles and/or with other known compatible active agents, especially plant protection agents, such as other acaricides and insecticides, or rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, bactericides, etc., if desired, or in the form of particular dosage preparations for specific application made therefrom, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, pastes, and granules which are thus ready for use.

As concerns commercially marketed preparations, these generally contemplate carrier composition mixtures in which the active compound is present in an amount substantially between about 01-95% by weight, and preferably 0.5-% by weight, of the mixture, whereas carrier composition mixtures suitable for direct application or field application generally contemplate those in which the active compound is present in an amount substantially between 0.0000120%, preferably 0.00l-5%, by weight of the mixture. Thus, the present invention contemplates over-all compositions which comprise mixtures of a conventional dispersible carrier vehicle such as (1) a dispersible inert finely divided carrier solid, and/or (2) a dispersible carrier liquid such as an inert organic solvent and/or water preferably including a surface-active effective amount of a carrier vehicle assistant, e.g. a surfaceactive agent, such as an emulsifying agent and/or a dispersing agent, and an amount of the active compound which is effective for the purpose in question and which is generally between about 0.00001-95%, and preferably 0.0195%, by weight of the mixture.

The active compounds can also be used in accordance with the well known ultra-low-volume process with good success, i.e. by applying such compound if normally a liquid, or by applying a liquid composition containing the same, via very eifective atomizing equipment, in finely divided form, eg, average particle diameter of from 50-100 microns, or even less, i.e. mist form, for exampleairplane crop spraying techniques. Only up to at most about a few liters/hectare are needed, and often amounts only up to about 1 quart/acre, preferably 2-16 fluid ounces/ acre, are suflicient. In this process it is possible to use highly concentrated liquid compositions with said liquid carrier vehicles containing from about to about 98% by weight of active compound or even the 100% active substance alone.

In the treatment of seeds, amounts of active compound of 0.1 to 10 g., preferably 0.5 to S g., per kg. of seeds are in general required. Amounts of active compound of l to 500 g., preferably 10 to 200 g., per cubic meter of soil are required for the treatment of soil.

The active compounds according to the invention also possess nematocidal activity and rodent-repellent activity.

Furthermore, the present invention contemplates methods of selectively killing, combatting or controlling pests, e.g. arthropods, i.e. insects and acarids, as well as fungi and microbes, particularly methods of combatting such pests which comprises applying to at least one of correspondingly (a) such pests and ,(b) the corresponding habitat thereof, i.e. the locus to be protected, a correspondingly combative or toxic amount, i.e. an effective amount of the particular active compound of the invention alone or together with acarrier vehicle as noted above. The instant formulations or compositions are applied in the usual manner, for instance by spraying, atomizing, vaporizing, scattering, dusting, watering, squirting, sprinkling, pouring, fumigating, and the like.

It will be realized, of course, that the concentration of the particular active compound utilized in admixture with the carrier vehicle will depend uponthe intended application. Therefore, in special cases it is possible to go above or below the aforementioned concentration ranges.

The unexpected superiority and outsanding activity of the particular new compounds of the present invention are illustrated, without limitation, by the following examples:

EXAMPLE 1 Drosophila test Solvent: 3 parts by weight of dimethylformamide Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether To produce a suitable preparation of the particular active compound, 1 part by weight of the active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent containing the stated'amount of emulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired final concentration. 7

1 cc. of the preparation of the active compound is applied with a pipette to a filter paper disc of 7 cm. diameter. The wet disc is placed in a glass vessel containing 50 vinegar flies (Drosophila melanogaster) and covered with a glass plate.

After the specified periods of time, the destruction is determined as a percentage: 100% means that all the flies are killed; 0% means that none of the flies are killed.

To apply the dressing, the seeds of suitable host plants are shaken with the dry dressing in a closed glass flask. Five batches of 10 grains of the seed are sown in pots which contain Fruhstorfer standard soil which has first been sterilized and then inoculated with pure cultures of the test fungi. The pots are placed in a greenhouse at the hereinafter-stated temperatures and are kept normally moist.

Three weeks after sowing, the number of healthy plants is determined as a percentage of the number of seeds sown. 0% means that no healthy plants have grown, whereas 100% means that healthy plants have resulted from all the seeds.

S CFCI To apply the dressing, barley seed, WhlCh 1s naturally infested by Helminthosporium gramineum, is shaken with Comparison Bgenv the dressing in a closed glass flask. The seed, on moist filter paper discs in closed Petri dishes, is exposed to a (0) H2 80 2 a4 temperature of 4 C. for 10 days in a refrigerator. The c germination of the barley, and possibly also of the fungus spores, is thereby initiated. Two batches of 50 grains of the pregerminated barley are subsequently sown 2 cm. i I Ns-CCII deep in Fruhstorfer standard soil and cultivated in a BC 011-00 greenhouse at temperatures of about 18 C. in seed boxes which are exposed to light for 16 hours daily. The H, typical symptoms of the stripe disease develop within 3 to 4 weeks. o After this time, the number of diseased plants is de termined as a percentage of the total number of emerged 00 50 2 24 plants.

The action of the compounds surpasses the o-hydroxydiphenyls which are extensively employed for such preservation. At concentrations of 0.05% no fungal growth occurs, as against the customary addition of 1% of o-hydroxydiphenyl to prevent fungal growth.

EXAMPLE 12 vTest nematode: Phorbia brassicae (nematodes in the soil) Solvent: 3 parts by weight actone I Emulsifier: 1 part by weight alkyl aryl polyglycol other To produce a suitable prepartion of the particular active compound, 1 part by weight of the active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired final concentration.

The preparation of active compound is intimately mixed with soil which is heavily infested with the test nematodes. The concentration of the active compound in the preparation is of practically no importance; only the amount of active compound per unit 'volume of soil, which is given in p.p.m., is decisive. The soil is-filled into pots, lettuce is sown in the pots and they are kept at a greenhouse temperature of 27 C. After 4 weeks, the lettuce roots are examined for infestation with nematodes, and the degree of efiectiveness of the active compound is determined as a percentage. The degree of eifectiveness is when infestation is completely avoided; it is 0% when the infestation is exactly the same as in the case of the control plants in untreated soil which has been in: tested in the same manner.

The active compounds, the amounts applied and the results can be seen from the following Table 13:

Test insects, Sitophilus granarius Solvent: acetone Two parts by weight of the particular active compound are dissolved in 1000 parts by volume of the solvent. The solution so obtained is diluted with further solvent to the desired lower concentrations.
